Overview

Impressions of America (Classic Reprint) by Oscar Wilde

Excerpt from Impressions of America

The lily's withered chalice falls Around its rod of dusty gold, And from the beech trees on the wold The last wood-pigeon 0003 and calls.

The gaudy leonine sunﬂower Hangs black and barren on its stalk, And down the windy garden walk The dead leaves scatter, hour by hour.

Pale privet-petals white as milk Are blown into a snowy mass; The roses lie upon the grass.
